Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, an Oscar-nominee who made food and American diets his life's work, famously eating only at McDonald's for a month to illustrate the dangers of a fast-food diet, has died. He was 53. #shorts

Bro went from 100% vegan to nothing but mcdonalds overnight, which doctors said was the main issue as to why he got so sick, the binge drinking didn't help anything as well.

He was also an alcoholic who tried to quit cold turkey during filming. His medical issues were likely withdrawal symptoms rather than anything to do with McDonald's.

The documentary can’t be taken at face value as Morgan Spurlock later admitted he was hitting the bottle throughout the films production. The doctors in the film asked whether he was drinking as his decline in health was similar to that of an alcoholic. His girlfriend was also a vegan so it’s no longer a credible documentary.

He had perfect health before he was "super-sized ". He had a healthy liver and heart before, but after his liver and heart wete damaged. He also became depressed during that 30 day period, and the McDonald's food boosted his spirits. He was addicted to the food. After the 30 days, the depression continued. Maybe that is when alcoholism kicked in.🤷🏾♀️

Moral of the story? Americans can no longer afford McDonalds and Cancer treatment is also deadly
Without proper excersize while eating it, Yes. I rode from Wyoming to New York state on a bicycle and only ate McDonald's for 3 weeks. I did not need hospitalization. And continued to eat McDonald's for 3 months 3x daily while pedaling on to Arkansas, Arizona and back to Wyoming.

Cancer effects the body in real bad ways. Typically, organs fail or the body shuts down, immune system becomes weak leading to multiple "complications" due to cancer, indirectly. My mother had a cancerous brain tumor. She ultimately died of pneumonia. This is considered a death by complications due to cancer. Just means the cancer indirectly caused the death, while the direct cause of death was pneumonia. Make sense?

Was all the round up chemicals he ingested while being vegan that sadly got him in the end
